Anna Bogomazova vs Missile Assault Ant vs Blaster McMassive w/Prince Nana vs Evie
This match breaks down early, and often as Missile Assault Ant and Blaster McMassive aren’t waiting for the tag tournament to start to begin teeing off on each other. Nana tells McMassive to keep on MAA, to knock him out for the tournament, but the Colony member persists, as the two brawl around ringside. Anna takes this opportunity to hit her new finisher: Red Fury (Chest Kick followed by an uppercut) (9:09)

Main Show
The show opens up with Matt Striker and Wink Vavasseur talking backstage. We overhear the words “Grand Championship” and “Recruit”. Wink goes to leave, but Ultramantis Black enters the frame. Ultramantis says that he brings a missive from CHIKARA owner Mike Quackenbush, and he’s glad both are there to read it. He hands over the letter for Striker and Quakenbush to look over. Wink scowls and throws a fit, leaving the frame. Striker’s mood darkens as he reads on. Ultramantis starts “So, can I talk to you about the King of T-“ Striker cuts him off with a gesture, and then walks away.

Create-A-Wrestler vs Jessicka Havok
CAW comes out as Hulk Hogan, pulling all the mannerisms he can. When he tries to Hulk Up though, he proves he isn’t the Hulkster, and eats a HavoKiller, giving The Death Machine the win. (2:06)

Following the match, Jessicka Havok grabs mic. “As of right now, I am entering myself into the CHIKARA Tag Team Championship Tournament. Let me introduce you to my partner.” She clocks Create-A-Wrestler with the mic and pulls him to his feet and restrains him. Anna’s music hits and she jogs to the ring. She then boots the Hogan-wannabe in the stomach. Havok and Anna shake hands, then look to continue the assault. Suddenly, the area echoes with a loud “Ooooooh Yeah!” as Randy Savage’s music hits, to the confusion of everyone. Suddenly, someone dressed like Macho Man Randy Savage sprints to the ring, chair in hand. Anna and Havok bail, as Savage-impersonator checks on CAW. They rip off the hat and Sunglasses to reveal that it’s Leva Bates! Havok and Anna stare down Bates from the top of the ramp as we go to commercial.

We cut backstage where we see Matt Striker catch up to Eddie Kingston. “Eddie, Eddie, wait, Eddie. Look, I know we faced each other a few weeks ago for the Grand Championship, but I have good news for you. Tonight, you have a match against Madison Eagles to determine who will face that granite goofball The Masterpiece at the next CHIKARA Live event. Now, if I was in charge, I would’ve just named you the number 1 contender outright. After all, who better to represent CHIKARA than the man who was the Champion before this whole… warpy thingy happened. So, that’s the message I had for you, but I have another business proposition for you that we can discuss. We just need to speak somewhere more, private.” Striker points at the camera. “Good luck tonight. I hope to hear from you soon.”

Mark Angelosetti w/ Sugar Dunkerton vs Saturyne
Angelosetti comes out with Dunkerton, and hesitantly tries to mess with the crowd. The match starts, and Angelosetti controls much of the match. Saturyne mounts a small comeback, which forces the former football player to the outside. He goes under the ring to grab a chair, but Dunkerton goes over and stops him. Angelosetti laughs, and taps his head and says “oops, I forgot” before sliding the chair back under the ring, and resuming the match. With renewed focus, he quickly plants the smaller wrestler with a Spinebuster to pick up the win. (4:57)

We go to a locker room where 2.0 are packing their bags.
Parker starts “Weird few weeks since we’ve come back.”
‘Yeah’ Matthews replies.
“Wasn’t it last week where we were wrestling for those orange shiny monsters?”
‘Dude, that was New Jersey.’
“Oh. Well, what about tonight? There was some weird, imitation meat and cheese sandwich in catering. That’s gotta be some alien dish.”
‘That was a Philly Chesesteak sandwich.’
“Oh.” He pauses. “That was pretty gross.”
‘Yeah. Yeah they are.’
The two finish packing, and leave with Parker still asking questions about where they’ve been wrestling lately.

The Osirian Portal (Amasis & Ophidian) vs Ace Steel & Ricochet
These two teams go hard and fast trying to build momentum for the Tag Team Tournament. The two go back and forth for a long time, eventually brawling to the outside. The two teams are so locked in on each other, that they don’t hear the ref’s 10-count, forcing the match to go to a draw. (9:31)
Rating: D-

The two teams continue to fight up the ramp and to the backstage area. We see Steel and Ricochet gain the upper hand, only for Amasis and Ophidian to turn tail and run.

Grand Championship Number 1 Contender’s Match
Madison Eagles vs Eddie Kingston
This match starts off by the books for a good while, but as was to be expected, things broke down late. Kimber Lee came down to ringside, providing a distraction for Kingston to roll up Eagles, but she kicks out at 2. Eagles chases after Striker’s assistant, which forces the ref to take matters into his own hands. While his back is turned, Kingston “accidentally” runs into the ref, knocking him to the outside. Eagles lands Hellbound on Kimber Lee at ringside, and she returns to the ring, surprised at the lack of referee. Striker sprints down to the ring area, and Wink throws him a ref shirt from the commentary table. Eagles argues with Striker, as he points to his shirt. Kingston turns Eagles around and levels her with a lariat. Cover, and Striker makes a fast count, giving Kingston the win. (12:31)

Eddie Kingston stands with his arms raised by Striker and Kimber Lee (who’s still holding the back of her head), and the trio celebrates over a fallen Eagles as the show goes off the air, being reminded by commentary that now Kingston will face The Masterpiece at CHIKARA Live in two days.
